Post From: Live Feeding Market Data From External Source

I hope this message finds you well. I am currently working on integrating market data from the EGX Exchange into Sierra Chart. I have access to an API that provides market data in a JSON format, with data points similar to the example below:
{
"time": 1726658880000,
"close": 58.7,
"open": 58.7,
"high": 58.7,
"low": 58.7,
"volume": 9299.0
}
Given this format, I am looking for an efficient method to live feed this data into Sierra Chart. Could you please advise on the best approach to achieve this? Specifically, I would like to know:
1. Is there a built-in feature in Sierra Chart that allows importing data from an external API directly?
2. If not, would using the DTC Protocol Server be a suitable method to live feed this data? If so, are there any best practices or guidelines you could provide for implementing this?
3. Are there any other recommended methods for live feeding custom data into Sierra Chart that I should consider?

Thanks,
